Judge Lynch's Announcement.
ONE NEGRO HANGED AND ALL OTHER LIKE OFFENDERS
THREATENED.

THREATENED.
Much excitement prevails In Tarboro, NC. over
a lynching that took place near there saturday
night-the first in the history OF the county. Ben
Hart, negro, nineteen years old, was hanged for
an attempted criminal assault on April % upon
sixteen-year-old white girl In which great
brutality was displayed. The feeling against
him ran so high that Judge Shipp holding court,
ordered him TO be taken TO Williamson, In Martin
County, for safe keeping. Time and distance only
served 70 inflame the people, and Saturday night
the engineer on the material train lying over at
Rocky Mount. Ia miles from Tarboro, was CON-
PEELED by sixty armed and masked men 10 take
his engine and two coaches and convey the party
to WILLIAMSON. There some M the party sur
rounded the sheriff's residence to prevent any
communication, while the remainder broke into
the Jail and dragged forth Hart. He was then
brought back - Iarboro', and near tie scene OF
his crime was hanged to the limb or a tree. This
placard was attached TO his body:
I've hang this man not In passion, but calmly
and deliberately, With due sense OF the respo,i-
S1billty we assume. We take executive power in
this case and hang this man In accordance with
the unwritten law OF the land because the writ
ten law provides no penalty adequate TO his
crime; and, be IL understood, we who have done
this act will repeat ii under similar provocaton.

nocent OF the crime Tor which he was condemned.
Rucker Asserts that he himself committed the
crime and Is ready TO hang for IT, There is little
credence given the statement. however, as he n
generally considered OF an unsound mind
